Hey, tommorrow im finaly gunna get some ICE :P (new sound system) :D

And i was just wondering if is should amp my speakers, heres what im getting : all full alpine :ermm:

-Head Unit CDA-9886.

-Front splits SPR-17S TYPE-R 6.5" COMPONENT SPEAKERS

-Rear 6's SPR-17C TYPE R 6.5" COAXIAL SPEAKERS.

-12 INCH SUB, SWR-1222D TYPE-R 12" SUBWOOFER

-AMP FOR SUB, MRP-M1000 V-POWER MONO AMPLIFIER

And if i amp the speakers which i think i am it would be :

-MRP-F600 V-POWER 4/3/2 CH AMPLIFIER.

Is it a good idea to amp my speakers? like and extra 500 or so doesnt matter, and if im spending what i am it would be best to amp the speakers to get the most out of the system, would you agree?

also theres a new thing that plugs into the headunit (at the back) which ads like 65 rms to each speaker for 200$, dont relaly know much about it...

i have a JVC headunit, rockford fosgate 6.5 inch splits front and 6.5 inch coax rears. Doors fully lined with dynamat and all hooked up to a sony 4 channel amp. TO be honest i dont need a sub with that set up.

So my 2c is that YES YES get a amp for your speakers, as then they wont get drowned out by your sub and if youre paying for good speakers you may as well show their potential with an amp; but also GET DYNAMAT, makes R33 doors sound SO much better.

Thanks mate :D

yeah that what i though, might as well get the most out of it :P

dynamat.. now is that worth it?:ermm: ta

Definately need an amp, personally i would not bother about rear speakers though, i have focal splits front and rear and when i turn the rears off there is no difference.

If i was you i would go for a good 4 chan amp. run the fronts off 2 chans and bridge the other 2 for the sub.

why even bother putting type r splits without an amplifier? clearly states on the box that they're 110wrms..

alpine also do a package that comes with splits + 6x9's + amp for about 300 off retail.. i swap the 6x9's for customers all the time.

Maybe its just me but i think 6x9's are a poor mans sub that will never match a small 10" sub let alone a decent 12".

Step 1. Pull out rear speakers

Step 2. Dynamat, you don't need loads of it to make a huge difference

Step 3. Amp front splits

Rear speakers are almost always a waste of money, and stuff up the imaging of your front stage, unless you really enjoy sitting in the back of your car whilst driving, ditch the speakers and leave the holes empty. You will find you have heaps more bass in the cabin from the subbass in the boot having an unimpeded path to you.

cheers,

Jesse

Hey, system went in a few days ago, its really good :D amp'd and all, now only problem is sorting our the rattles. lol..

you know the "skyline" centre between the taillights, well bass shook two of the four nuts off, one each side.. but i couldnt be happier :)

A tiny bit of lock tight will hold them on, as for other rattles, you just have to go looking for them, some might be loose bolts or fittings some will just be parts rubbing or hitting, try some foam under some bits others try something like sika flex to attach the part properly.

its pretty much just my rear bar, but too unsure to put tension on it as it could stress and break?

Depends how much pressure you put on it, would take a lot to break it, find where it is rattling and just use a finger to push on it, if it stops you need to put some foam or something behind it.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
